Equipment Notes
Wetsuits are 3mm shorties. We do not have many long suits for rent. If you get cold while diving, please bring your own suit. Phuket has several very good equipment dealers and wetsuits are a good price here.
Fins - we normally rent only full foot fins, not open heel fins/booties. We have a few pairs but cannot promise!
Alcoholic drinks such as beer are for sale on all boats. Some also have wine and cocktails. You are welcome to bring your own drinks, but please don't drink and dive - drunk or hungover divers will be asked to stay out of the water.
Soft drinks such as coke, sprite, fanta etc..also for sale for a small fee. Note: Some boats do have free soft drinks.

Non divers are welcome on liveaboards, but remember that these are dive boats and not all sites are suitable for snorkeling. The price for a non diver varies from boat to boat, but is usually not that much less than the diver price.
Airport transfers normally not included unless on the day of departure and going directly to the boat. If you want a taxi to your hotel any day before your trip, we can arrange this for you - a private taxi is 600 Baht, a minibus 800 Baht.
